ESCONDIDO, CA – For the first time ever, a Stone Enjoy By IPA will be available in cans with the latest release: Stone Enjoy By 07.04.17 Unfiltered IPA. Defiantly independent, this unfiltered, unabashed and devastatingly fresh IPA will inspire compatriotism among hop heads everywhere. With the pull of a tab, you ‘ll hear the rallying cry: “Stone Wants You to Enjoy Fresh Beer!” Perfectly timed for hop fanatics seeking the freedom to explore the great outdoors, cans offer an easy and convenient option to enjoy the freshest Stone beers possible.
By keeping it unfiltered, this freedom-loving double IPA has wonderfully intense peach and tropical fruit hop aromas. As with its fellow comrades of the Stone Enjoy By IPA series, this beer is brewed specifically not to last.
“We’re fired up about our Stone Enjoy By IPA featured in cans for the first time. I know around the brewery we are all so very pumped to take Stone Enjoy By IPA a little more off-road. We can venture out into some of our favorite hard-to-reach places – surf spots, hikes – and create some new, rare moments where we can pause to savor the scene along with our freshest, unfiltered, danky hop soup,” says Dominic Engels, CEO. “Whether it’s cans or bottles, Stone Enjoy By IPA is extra special for wherever and whenever and now we can go even further.”

Taste: Hoppy, bursting with lots of fruit flavors and yeast-derived fruity esters, dissipating quickly into a finish loaded with hop flavors and bitterness.

Overall: While similar to regular Stone Enjoy By IPA, this unfiltered version results in a perceptible change with the hop aroma.
